IDAHO FALLS - Every day thousands hear local radio personality "Dusty Bee" broadcast from the 105.5/105.9 Hawk studios.
What listeners haven't heard about is Dusty's serious medical issues that, according to doctors, could have been fatal.
Dusty said the problems started in February when he went in for a routine sinus procedure.
The operations went fine but three months later, as Dusty drove his son’s to their mother’s home in Logan, things changed.
"I sneezed and coughed out of the blue and felt a pop in my nose," Dusty said during an interview with EastIdahoNews.com. "I got to Logan and I leaned over to pick up my son and fluid just started flowing out of my nose. There was enough to fill my hand."
A few days later, Dusty became violently ill and was rushed to the University of Utah hospital for surgery.
Doctors diagnosed him with a cerebral spinal fluid leak.
"I had lost pretty much all the fluid in my back," said Dusty. "They sedated me immediately and that was the scariest part of all of it because I had my two boys and I wasn’t able to protect them. It was really scary."
The operation didn't fix the problem so Dusty had to undergo three other surgeries that were also unsuccessful.
Dusty’s doctors say they then decided to perform a unique 8.5 hour procedure.
"They were going to cut me from ear to ear and pull everything down," Dusty said. "But they developed a new thing where they cut a hole through my septum and then cut the healthy tissue out of one sinus and transplant it over."
The operation was three weeks ago and doctors are still monitoring Dusty’s condition.
He’s tried to remain positive and says he's been inspired by 9-year-old Tayt Anderson - the Rigby boy who endured numerous health issues waiting for a heart transplant.
"I had the opportunity to meet Tayt and his mom years ago," said Dusty. "Things didn’t look good for Tayt but he still was happy and he still was positive and so was his mom."
Dusty said this ordeal has taught him a lot and while there may be more hard times ahead, he’s thankful for what he’s learned, the messages he's received from listeners and his job at 105.5/105.9 the Hawk.
"I get to come in here, see all these positive people, give things away, and touch peoples lives," Dusty said. "It really takes my perspective away from my own problems and gets me to the see the positives that they have."

Idaho is a mountainous state with an area larger than that of all of New England. It borders the US states of Montana to the northeast, Wyoming to the east, Nevada and Utah to the south, and Washington and Oregon to the west. To the north, it shares a 45mi (72km) international border with the Canadian province of British Columbia, the shortest such land border of any state. The network of dams and locks on the Columbia River and Snake River make the city of Lewiston the farthest inland seaport on the Pacific coast of the contiguous United States.

Idaho's nickname is the "Gem State", because nearly every known type of gemstone has been found there. In addition, Idaho is one of only two places in the world where star garnets can be found in any significant quantities, the other being India. Idaho is sometimes called the "Potato State" owing to its popular and widely distributed crop. The state motto is Esto Perpetua (Latin for "Let it be forever" or "Let it endure forever").

Fires (Nerina Pallot album)

Fires is the second album by London-born singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot. First released in April 2005 on her own independent record label, Idaho Records, Fires was met with much critical acclaim but did not gain commercial recognition.

After working as a support act for artists such as Sheryl Crow and Suzanne Vega, Pallot was signed up to 14th Floor Records, who were impressed with the audience response and after-show sales of her album. Thus, Fires was reissued in late April 2006 with revamped artwork and some slight remixes on some of Pallot's songs. The album entered at UK #41 and later, on the strength of the popular single "Everybody's Gone to War", made it as far as #21.

To date, the album has been certified gold in the UK for sales of over 100,000, and has earned Pallot a nomination at the 2007 BRIT Awards for Best British Female. As of 4 October 2009, the album has sold 138,563 copies in the UK.

History

Etymology

Accounts differ about the origin of the name. One account credits Capt. B.L.E. Bonneville of the U.S. Army as its source. After trekking for weeks through dry and rough terrain, his exploration party reached an overlook with a view of the Boise River Valley. The place where they stood is called Bonneville Point, located on the Oregon Trail east of the city. According to the story, a French-speaking guide, overwhelmed by the sight of the verdant river, yelled "Les bois! Les bois!" ("The wood! The wood!")—and the name stuck.
